I've seen way too many so called 'intelligent' people act like this is the onset of the Rapture, which makes me call into question exactly how smart these supposedly intelligent people making alot of money really are.
ChatGPT is an intelligence augmentation. At best. Or a glorified secretary. Believe me, I've been looking into utilizing it into my day to day workflow(or to speed things up) and alot of things people are drooling and creaming themselves over are... What, summarizing articles? Creating schedules? Writing emails?
Wow. Much skynet. Very AI. How slow do you bastards read or type that this is actually a big deal? Fuck.
About the only thing I'm mildly impressed with is sketching together all the programming... and even then, you have to know how to parse the questions(meaning you have to know how to program to begin with) so you can get the code that you can then test to make sure it actually works and implement it in a working environment and and and...
I'm thinking this is going to be the equivalent of a bunch of DIE programmers getting swept out of the way so the real guys can actually get shit done at an accelerated pace - the equivalent of Lawyers who think they're hot shit because they memories a bunch of convoluted and fucked up laws that are written to be as obtuse as possible.

Technology is a deflationary pressure, so yes that's what this is.
This does not mean, as you note, that AI will rule over the world. It's just another tool that humans will use.
It's a form of automation; for simple tasks it can speed things up immeasurably.
For anything complicated, you're better off doing things yourself.
